Will I say I'm certain Daboll is an amazing coordinator? no.
However, Josh Allen is progressing, and that's enough for me to say let the show go on.

But if the player initiates, there should be no problem.
The trouble with that is then the line gets foggy. All of a sudden offseason work with the coaches is "not required but highly recommended"
In any case, although it seems silly on some level, if it's equal for all teams then it's fine. I imagine the coaching staffs also have good recommendations for the players as to where they should go and train and whom they should train with.

So........
First thank you for the supporters. Second thank you for the criticism. I believe someone should stand up for the weak. Cyber bullies have made it so severe that their victims have actually killed themselves. To call me unstable because I wanted to stand up for those who can’t or won’t is just What Millennials would say. When I was growing up if you picked on someone you better be able to handle your ***** talking. I simple wanted to establish a conversation on why he thought his behavior was okay.
mind you..... I spent my money, my time, my resources. Not anyone else’s. I haven’t asked for anything monetarily, or anything crazy. I simple wanted to show Bullies can’t bully someone face to face.
just figured I clear the air.thanks.
The internet, social media, and smartphones have created a societal crisis. A crisis in which we are losing connection to one another as we communicate from behind screens. It allows for people to avoid real confrontation and uncomfortable emotions because through a screen you can say anything you want and not see the reaction of the other person in front of you. This is why we have no problem fighting to the death on the internet, but greet those same people on the street with a smile.
Honestly, I have no idea who this Coleman guy is, I didn’t see or hear what he said, and I don’t care. My opinion is that real inner strength is when some idiot can say something stupid and you can laugh it off because you know it’s bull####. But, I would also say if you want to confront someone, then the way you did it is the only way, and I admire your courage! The moment you lost was when you played his twitter game as opposed to just blindsiding him. Nonetheless I think you got your message across.
Love,
An old millennial/young Gen X

Top DEs are being paid in the 18-20 mill range. 8 or 9 million is no longer a high number for a DE.
I’d be shocked if anyone gives him that much, but FA is crazy as we all know. -

Bill's wiffed when they didnt pick up his 5th year option, could of had him for another year at a fraction of the cost.
the 5th year option was reasonably high, something like 8 or 9 million, no?

one play in isolation proves nothing. No player, no human being executes anything 100%, it’s all about the overall

So, common sense has no place in rules interpretation? Can’t disagree more. The returner gave himself up and that was obvious, regardless of the technicality involved.
NFL refs get so much wrong during the course of a season and it’s by far the worst officiated sport in the world, but every once in a while they get it right.
At first I accepted the overturning myself, but having watched a discussion on a sports show from former players, they all agreed that the rules should be followed strictly and gave some good examples - such as, what about victory formation? Is it ok if the QB doesn’t take a knee? What about the fake spike play for example? What if the Texans player was faking giving himself up in the end zone and then runs it back for a touchdown? He has to put his knee down, period.
1 hour ago, Rocbillsfan1 said:So I’d like to talk about something other than the play on the field there are a lot of great threads discussing that and we will have all offseason to discuss.
I gotta good laugh out of the thread about can the fans sue the nfl for the td call back fumble play. While the answer is yes you can it obviously isn’t going anywhere as the nfl already stated they are just an entertainment business. But can the fans do anything else? Can we band together to demand some type of explanation or clarification to what exactly happened with the refs and how we can prevent this from happening in the future? I wonder what would even suffice and what could be said to fans to make it better? I don’t have a good answer for them.
I’ve thought for many years now that since goodell has taken over that the nfl has turned into the wwe and I think there are dozens of examples in the last two decades that would point to that. I think as a season ticket holder and fan that maybe it’s time we demand more from the nfl. I was upset with some of the in game calls that were made or weren’t made but usually when you get down to it there’s a lot of grey area when calling a nfl game and fans are never going to completely happy with the way a game is called. That’s to be expected but the nfl has gone completely off the rails. Experienced viewers never know when or if a penalty will be called and there never seems to be any consistently. It’s a joke.
However that isn’t my main concern. What is my concern is the obvious td callback. the rules make it 100% clear what you need to do as a returner when catching the ball in the end zone. It was the one time any experienced person that knows the rules understands that guy made a bonehead play that cost his team. The refs as we know made the correct call and then something happened that I’ve never seen in my life. You had all these refs I’ve never seen in a game running onto the field calling a meeting. I’d like an answer for why were they allowed onto the field to and what initiated their decision to come onto the field. From what I’ve heard so far the refs in all black received a call from NY that there was an error of judgement made by the crew and that the call had to be overturned. Who is responsible for that and will there be any accountability for what they did?
My guess and I don’t even think this is conspiracy stuff is that the nfl wanted a competitive game because it was better for their ratings. They are in the entertainment business after all and the most important thing to them is ratings and guess what, they got it but at the bills expense. That is ridiculous if you ask me and something that should be taken way more seriously then what I’m seeing in the aftermath. ESPN didnt even mention the play anywhere on the nfl page. It’s still all about jj watt and Watson. But because it could have ruined the game ratings wise the NFL, not the game crew determined that we didn’t have to follow the rules anymore but instead use common sense. That is flat out wrong.
I know there will be tough tough guys stating things like just get over it or deal with it but if no one ever takes a stand it will just be more of the same. So maybe as fans there’s a way to group together not as a protest to the bills or the pegulas but in order to stand up to the nfl and say we aren’t renewing season tickets until you’ve admitted your mistakes and correct this so we never had to go through this bs again. Otherwise, just enjoy football like a slightly more entertaining sport than wwe because it couldn’t be more obvious that it is.
Any person has the power to make an impact when they believe in something.
The question is how much do you care about this to invest yourself in it? Is it worth spending countless hours and days fighting this? For most people, I would say the answer would be no, there are things more important for them to fight for. Therefore it would be difficult to get a mass crowd to follow you in protest.
But hey, you should go with your own feeling!!!

Who'd you rather be a fan of today? The Bills or:
The Patriots?
The Jets?
The Fish?
And that's just in our division. I'd rather be in OUR position than any of theirs.
OK, too small of a sample size for you? Well, how about we widen our search to the broader AFC as a whole:
Ravens?
Bengals?
Browns?
Steelers?
Texans?
Titans?
Colts?
Jaguars?
Chargers?
Raiders?
Broncos?
Chiefs?
Even on THAT list, I'd probably only want to swap places with the Chiefs, MAYBE the Ravens (based on coaching alone), and possibly the Titans. That's it. By my reckoning, the Bills' situation is better than TWELVE other AFC teams, which puts them in a really sweet spot at the moment. I know that spewing bile and raw emotion is all the rage these days and that logic and reason take a back seat more often than not. But if you look at the REALLY big picture, the Bills are in a pretty good place today with Beane and McDermott. Blowing all of it up would be a blunder of EPIC proportions.
You’re absolutely right.
Most fans seem to view players like robots rather than human beings who need to learn their skills and abilities over time. Not only is the team young and with a 2nd year quarterback, the head coach is also just a 3rd year head coach and the GM is a 3rd year GM. Given the youth all-around, this team is ROCKING. In order to grow, they actually NEED failures like last night. When things are easy, you don’t get better. From that perspective, I’m totally content with last night’s loss, knowing this team will spring back next year and continue to work hard. I’m thinking more about a future DYNASTY.

No one seems to be mentioning the big defensive adjustment from Houston in the second half. They spread the d-line out to attack wide and brought 5 and 6 man rushes. Allen wanted to run outside the pocket, but couldn't, and our o-line was getting owned by this technique. This adjustment totally took out our offense. For sure, it's something they weren't prepared for.

It's a complicated game of rock paper scissors.
Rules help push things along, but defensive coordinators and the generally higher level of athletic ability on d catches up, and then new offenses come along and the cycle begins anew.
Right now, D's are really good at pressure, coverage, and run blitzing. They all seem to be poorly equiped to stop a power run game. There is also something to be said about a very balanced d like the one we have, where if guys make tackles we can defend anything. I think that why mcd likes waves of dline and super athlete mbls, they can deal w most anything.
I'm a big fan of how these things trend and change. I really got into it back when I played and pitz came in hot w the zone blitz concept and the 3-4 vs 4-3 stuff.
This is exactly what I would say. League becomes a passing league? Ok well then teams are going to focus on building good pass defenses....so then you have to run the ball to have success again.

So I guess the question is when does Allen not need a mentor and he, himself considered a vet?
Definitely. And to agree with you, I'm sure the team would also gladly add another talented QB if they found one (whether he was labeled #2 or #3).
I think another reason why there aren't very many great backups around the league is just the simple fact that it's probably really hard to stay sharp in that position when you never play. I suppose that's also why the vet is valued, since even if his physical skills and reaction time deteriorate, at least he has the mental capacity to line guys up.

You don’t need a vet backup. You can definitely draft a developmental guy to better fit your starting QBs skill set.
From what I can tell, the backup QB is quite involved on the sideline in assisting the starter. Also from what I understand, Barkley has been very helpful to Allen’s development. So I would say these factors are actually more important than how the backup plays himself. A young QB probably needs a vet, and an experienced QB probably doesn’t as much.

Josh is making some of the same mistakes now that he made nearly 2 years ago.
Are we sure he's progressing and "learning" ???
His completion % is more what I'd call regressing to the mean.
He has absolutely improved drastically. Look at the touchdown to interception ratio as an example. Sure he still makes some of the same mistakes, is he supposed to fix literally EVERYTHING in one season? Baby steps, one thing at a time.

I’m honestly shocked at all the complaining here. This young Bills managed the Patriots quite well yesterday, and Tom Brady is still the best game manager in the NFL. Look, basically no one beats the Pats year in and year out, it just sucks more if you play in the AFC east and have to play them twice every year. This Bills team has exceeded expectations for this season by a long shot, and in the last four games came up with two big wins and two very close losses against the Ravens and Pats. I think next year this team bumps it up agains the Pats.

thanks guys, and as I understand in '20 they basically made all the players much lower than the past, right? just highlighting a few superstars and then everyone else sucks? So is this team decent in comparison to other teams?
-
For all the Madden people - Do they continue to update the rosters in Madden 20? Are the Bills good in the game now?

Two Words: {Marcell Dareus}. Get paid...Get fat... Get Lazy.. Get Cut or traded....and the beat goes on.
Marcel Dareus had tons of issues from the day he arrived....tons of family issues, losing loved one to shootings, and from what it seemed he was always battling depression. Given his talent level and the fact that he was a good guy at heart with a lot of troubles, it seemed like the team stuck by him hoping to get him through his problems and reach his potential. I even remember some sideline videos of vets telling him that he could be truly great if he committed himself.
Personally I’m not sure that his decline had anything to do with money, as I would guess that with all the depression he didn’t even care what was in his bank account.
What a sad story really, as he was an UNBELIEVABLE talent. If his head was on straight he would probably be headed to the HOF.

Maybe, and he was non-existent the prior 3 years as a 1st round pick. PASS on him PLZ.
Shaq had serious injury problems when he first arrived, lost his first season completely and then i would guess still wasn’t football ready for year 2. That’s not an easy way to start your career. Given that he has seemed to make strides last year and this year, I would say he may just be a late bloomer and on a great track now.
McD knows better than any of us what his value is going forward. Whether or not to resign him is going to depend on the value....and the value might be very good because of his bad start. D-line always needs rotation, so resigning him doesn’t declare him a full time every down starter, and it seems like we could do a lot worse.
